when i'm in the 'common transcode settings' tab it says its using 4 cores, but in the MEncoder tab the "enhanced multicore support for h264 HD content" is greyd out.also when i'm transcoding and streaming to my ps3 i only see 1 core beeing used.

I've also tried to recompile mplayer but no effect, I couldnt find anything in ./configure --help which resembles activating it.i'm on Archlinux 64bit.

I can confirm a succesfull compile of mencoder multithreaded on Ubuntu and indead just in PMS set the core option to the amount of cores you have.I see multiple cores doing their work 1080p works as advertised!!I see a beautiful Filled Buffer

Could you please help me with the parameters you chose ? I tried to compile the latest svn together with the ffmpeg-mt libs as mentioned above and the mencoder that results from this does not work with PMS. I mean compilations goes nicely if I run mencoder like this it seems to work but from PMS it always give me corrupted streams message on my PS3 (and no visible errors in PMS ??)

Thanks for your help ! (I am also on Ubuntu 8.04 server 64bits)

I have install and test Ubuntu 8.10 server 64bits, and use the same way than on 32bits install and mencoder compil and work fine.
